Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage
By Katy Olson
This style of massage can achieve a structural change or therapeutic benefit. It can help relieve chronic pain, post-exercise soreness, postural imbalance, and restricted mobility. During this treatment, I utilize heavier pressure to access the sub-layers of muscle and connective tissue that feel “stuck”. Slower strokes, and pressing and holding a specific muscle (Trigger Point Therapy) increase blood flow and oxygen to release contraction and heal the area.
Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage can release muscle tissue, break up fibrous adhesions, restore normal function, alleviate tension, and enhance relaxation. I will carefully communicate with my client about pressure and tenderness for an optimal outcome. A “good hurt” is sometimes necessary during this treatment.
Hydrate generously after your massage to help the body flush out natural waste released from muscles.

Swedish/Relaxation Massage
This traditional style of massage focuses on relaxing the entire body. It utilizes long, flowing strokes, kneading, tapping, and gentle manipulation of muscles. Swedish Massage reduces muscle tension, increases circulation, lowers blood pressure, promotes relaxation, alleviates stress and anxiety, and improves overall well-being.

Manual Lymph Drainage
MLD was founded more than 50 years ago by Dr. Vodder. A gentle, soft approach to open the Lymph Ducts and increase Lymph fluid to aid healing. It reminds me of my hand on the surface of water. MLD is a rhythmic motion that assists Lymph fluid to flow through the body. It soothes the parasympathetic nervous system, and many of us fall asleep during a session. This treatment is useful before and after surgeries. It decreases inflammation in the body and promotes healing.
